            Fixed it. A cheap-ass plastic piece inside the door latch broke in half, I had to rig up a tool to manually press a little lever-looking thing inside of the latch itself, took me about 8 hours to get the door open, now I could do it again in about 45 minutes with a big hammer, a long screwdriver, and my "tool" that I made out of a peice of bent aluminum rod. . . . lol Sounds sinister, that I used a hammer and long screwdriver on my F-Body door, doesn't it? lol

                Yep. Changing out the power window motors on Friday, hopefully, and I'll be happy then. . . I can stop fixing stuff that's broken and finally be able to enjoy my car instead of repairing the little things. I would never drive it if the A/C didn't work, the driver's window died the same say the pass. door latch did. . .

                  Good to hear you got it fixed.
                  It's always the stupid little parts that mess things up.

                          its only the beginning, i just put in a power window motor a few months ago.. now one of my headlights is being picky, there must be a weird connection and it takes a few tries for one of em to go up, i can play with the wires and it goes back to perfect for a few days, better hope your headlight motors hold up!

                            Yeah, I know. . . I'm having some troubles with a couple of my taillights right now, I think I have a bad socket now in the 3rd light from the left on the driver's side. . . I need to do some work, but I'm not afraid . . . It was either this car or a 96 T/A with 68k on the clock and a twisted frame to boot. . . Oh yeah, and the front end was smashed on the other one. . .
